Strait of Hormuz blocked by mines — long energy stocks as oil supply squeezes

Tensions in the Middle East have escalated, with reports that a critical global oil shipping route, the Strait of Hormuz, has been mined and effectively blocked. This prevents oil from reaching the global market.

Idea

The Strait of Hormuz is a chokepoint for global oil. If it is effectively blocked by mines and conflict, the supply of oil available to the world shrinks dramatically. When supply falls but demand stays the same, prices rise. Buying a basket of energy stocks is a direct way to profit from the rising oil prices that this geopolitical crisis is causing.
